I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to
them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.
The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to flourish.
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.
Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.
Sometimes I think abou t my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.
Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder that _________________.
24. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?
A. To protect the injured skull.
B. To prevent herself from sunburn.
C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.
D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.
25. What is the tree’s survival strategy?
A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.
B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.
C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.
D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.
26. Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?
A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.
B. The tree out-competes the native plants in the garden.
C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.
D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.
27. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ______.
A. it’s better to selflessly give than to simply take
B. trees and plants have their own ways to flourish
C. even a good relationship is not always trouble-free
D. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to be
C
Although it is a business not many are aware of, sidewalk robots are set to become an industry with annual sales of $Ibn within a decade, reckons IDTechEx, a British firm of analysts. These four-or six-wheeled autonomous machines, usually the size of a suitcase, are already
delivering groceries and other goods in America, China and Europe.
That puts them ahead of many driverless cars, vans and lorries being developed. Those bigger vehicles are held back not by technology but regulation, says Zehao Li of IDTechEx. So having a "safety driver" on board ready to take over if there is a problem, which is hardly labor-saving.
For these larger contraptions regulators want to see safety systems thoroughly proved. But there are legal hurdles, too. In January Britain's Law Commission, which reviews legislation, recommended that it should not be the person in the driver's seat who faces prosecution if a vehicle in autonomous mode crashes, but the manufacturer or body that sought approval for its use.
Meanwhile, sidewalk robots are getting on with the job. Among them, Starship Technologies, based in San Francisco, reckons it has already clocked up more than 2.5m deliveries with bots in a number of cities, university campuses and business parks in Europe and America. Amazon is carrying out trials with a similar sort of machine it calls Scout. Kiwibot, a Colombian startup, is making sidewalk deliveries in Califomia.
Typically, these robots carry a few bags of groceries using a variety of sensors, including cameras, radar and GPS to navigate and avoid obstacles and people. Their progress can be monitored on a phone app, which also unlocks them for goods to be retrieved. As they are small. move slowly(Starship's bots might reach a heady 6kph) and are "tel-monitored" by people in a control room who can take over, authorities seem more willing to give them a green light.
Such robots are also becoming more autonomous. In January Serve Robotics, another San Franciscan firm whose backers include Uber, a ride-hailing giant, said it had deployed a new sidewalk bot with "level 4"autonomy, which means it can operate without tel-monitoring in some predesignated areas.
Robotic versions which operate on roads but have no driver's cab are also appearing. Nuro, a Silicon Valley firm, makes one about the size of a small car that can carry 24 bags of groceries. It has chilled and heated compartments for food and drinks. Further along the road in earning their keep, these delivery bots are helping to pave the way for the time when bigger autonomous vehicles can join them.
28．What can we learn from paragraph one?
A．Sidewalk robots are portable like a suitcase.
B．In the past decade, Ibn dollars have been invested into industry.
C．The delivery industries of the US, China and Europe are dependent on sidewalk robots.
D．The industry of sidewalk robot is expanding unknowingly.
29．According to the passage, who should be responsible for automatic driving car accidents?
A．Safety drivers seated in the driver's seat.
B．Every passenger except the driver.
C．Organizations supportive of autonomous mode.
D．Manufacturers and bodies seeking approval for using safety drivers.
30．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph four mean?
A．reached B．designed C．bought D．invented 31．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Amazon is using Scout to deliver groceries for people.
B．If groceries are wrongly delivered, robots can take them back.
C．Some robots may deliver groceries with no one tel-monitoring them.
D．Both cold and hot food can be preserved inside a sidewalk robot developed by Nuro.
D
Parents, teachers and caregivers have long suspected the magic of storytelling to calm kids.
Researchers have now quantified the biological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale.
“We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Guilherme Brockington from Brazil’s Federal University. “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions — but this was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There are few studies on biological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.”
So investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took spit samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz.
Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions; they showed lower levels of cortisol — the stress-related hormone and higher levels of oxytocin, which is often described as a feel-good hormone. Yet kids in the storytelling group benefited significantly more: their cortisol levels were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words to describe their hospital stay.
The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. The researchers “really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was the key,” says Raymond Mar, a psychologist at York University who was not involved in the new research.
Next, the investigators plan to study how long these effects last, along with storytelling’s potential benefits to kids with particular illnesses such as cancer. For now Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes in a variety of settings. Mar agrees. “It’s very promising and scalable,” he says, “and possibly generalizable.”
32.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The effects of story-telling on children.
B. The limitations of the earlier research.
C. The methods used in earlier studies.
D. The major breakthroughs achieved so far.
33.What’s Raymond Mar’s attitude towards storytelling according to the last paragraph?
A. time-consuming
B. ambiguous
C.skeptical
D. optimistic
34. Which of the following is TRUE about the study conducted in Brazilian hospitals?
A. It measured participants’ blood levels.
B. It divided subjects into groups of 81.
C. It quantified the benefits of story-telling.
D. It compared impact of two types of story-telling.
35. The conclusion drawn from the study is that ________.
A. listening to stories reduces pain and stress in hospitalized kids
B. interacting with others improves sick kids’ mental sharpness
C. story telling has potential benefits for kids with cancers
D. riddle guessing is as effective as storytelling in helping sick kids

Do you have an important or favorite memory from the past? Perhaps it was clapping for goals, or seeing rainbow picture in the window. Shared memories can connect you to others. 36 How does memory work?
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stays in our brain for only seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, or even years.
Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to remember faces. 37 Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories. They are long term and can sometimes last a lifetime.
Why are memories important?
38 Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heidi, 12, told The Week, "If I miss seeing my granny and granddad. I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there."
"When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talking with them," Erica Boothby, a social-psychologist, said. By telling a funny or embarrassing story we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome. By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences, we empathize (产生共鸣) with and understand one another better.
39
Kim Roberts, a professor who runs the Child Memory Lab in Canada, believes focusing on happy memories will help you feel more positive. 40 Roberts says it's also helpful to remember that if you missed out on your last term at school, or birthday celebrations, then your friends did too. One day you will look back on this year as an important memory that you all share.
A. When do memories fade?
B. Can memories help wellbeing?
C. Memories tell you the story of yourself.
D. Emotional memories are usually sad ones.
E. These types of memories can be short or long term.
F. If you have difficult memories, though, it is important to talk about them.
G. By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive.

Edun did not want to go on a hike. She especially did not want to go on a long hike in the mountains that led to a tiny cabin（小木屋）with no electricity and no running water. She wanted to stay home reading a book instead while wrapped in a warm blanket.
“Ready?”Mom asked cheerfully after breakfast. Edun looked out the window and only saw rain, lots of it. “We should go another day,” Edun suggested. “Maybe a hundred years from now.” She worried she would get tired on the hike. She worried about getting bored at the dark cabin. Mom said it was time to stop worrying and get into the car.
Edun’s brother, Will, was waiting in the garage, who wore a camera around his neck. Will was four years older than Edun and had climbed many more mountains. He’d started hiking when he was two and loved it.
Because it was raining, Edun had to wear her rain pants, her rain hat, her rain jacket, and her waterproof boots. Her jacket had a rough material on the inside. She didn’t like how it felt against her skin.
After about half an hour’s drive, they parked at a trailhead（登山口）. The rain had stopped but the ground was still dripping wet. “We’ll be there by afternoon!” Mom promised. The afternoon sounded far away.
Will identified a bird sitting on a nearby branch — “Fox sparrow!” — then he raced down the trail and was soon out of sight.
Edun rested under a pine tree.“You can’t force me to walk,” Edun said. “You’re right,”
said her mom smilingly, standing under the tree, too,“But you will never know what may lie ahead and amaze us.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
